Not true, the IFS hubs place the wheels 1.5" farther out compared to the solid axle hubs. I didn't want to run wheel spacers because I don't want my wheels falling off, but I wouldn't mind running a rotor spacer because the rotor experiences a tiny fraction of the forces and torque that a wheel is put through (plus I'd rather have a rotor break off than a wheel, not that it would happen). However, it is possible to run IFS hubs without a rotor spacer, and being the cheap guy that I am this is what I want to do.

Mine don't use longer studs they bolt to the mountin surface using the standard wheel studs and then have their own wheel studs to mount the tire to. I run 37" boggers and have jumped the truck on occasion or two and have never had a problem. Mine came from all pro $79.99 pair.

Do you still have the stock studs on the hub, or are they newer? I would definitly want to put new studs in before I added spacers, and that alone is $12 per wheel. In this case though, if I were to get any spacers I would get a pair of the 5/8" rotor spacers and use IFS hubs before I would use wheel spacers (but I would need to get new studs for that anyway).
Also, do you have to recheck the torque on the spacers a lot? I've been told that you need to do this, but I don't really see why (I suspect that aluminum spacers expand and contract with temperature, so they would loosen up more in extreme climates. You probably don't have that problem in Missouri, right?)
